Stillness Touch

when stillness fills the whole body

Stillness Touch is gentle yet profound hands-on healing treatment for the entire body, mind, and spirit. It is an invitation into profound innerness with our and of our body. It is direct contact with the divine and intelligent nature of our humanely form, as well as what is beyond it. An opportunity to drop into embodied stillness.

Through contacting and working with the the cranium-spinal cord-sacrum axis, meridians, and the cerebrospinal fluid, we support the flow of fluids and breath throughout the entire system, delivering nourishment to every level of our bodily expression- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Our inherent state is wholeness. We find the innate health present in the system and orient to that, rather than the pain and associated stories around it.

All expressions of energy, form, life emerge from stillness, which is essentially emptiness. Stillness is the ground of all creation - before creation, there is stillness; before the embryo is implanted, the uterus is empty yet alive space. There is a stillness that is enlivened by a formless, non-linear axis of Being, giving rise for creative tension in total space, in which the Breath of Life expresses itself. The Breath of Life encompasses the forces of embryogenesis that create human beings, the order that designs flowers so perfectly, as well as the nuclei in brains of zebras.

In human beings, the Breath of Life emits a holographic blueprint holding a template of Wholeness which manifests a streak of light, containing the embryological coding needed to give way for protoplasmic development, followed by the subtle body, eventually giving rise to function and anatomical structure (form). This streak of light goes on to develop the notochord, informing the nuclei of each vertebral disk, followed by the development of each vertebrae, and eventually going on to form the central nervous system, spinal cord, and surrounding membranes and systems. This midline is the guiding force in all of human growth, still informing and affecting us to this very day— and holding primordial expressions of love, creation, and healing. While lying on the table, the practice is one of descent; descent into the body, into the midline, into sensations.

Sometimes people are seeking for relief of a physical symptom and an emotional memory from childhood that has been stifling them is revealed. Sometimes unresolved or unprocessed material or memories arise to be known, felt, or integrated. Sometimes simply slowing down and receiving allows the body or mind to complete a process or pattern, resulting in more clarity and peace in the day-to-day. Sometimes people are seeking rest and while on the table, a decision they have been grappling with clarifies. Some people come in to deepen awakening and or to support embodiment practices they are working with. Some people come to clear energy, some to move it, and others to rediscover it.

Every session supports whatever is showing up in the moment. We leave it to the body to inform us, and it is never wrong.

"In the depths of stillness, within the cerebrospinal fluid, lies the wisdom of the body- a wisdom that speaks of health, wholeness, and the inherent potential for healing." - William Sutherland

  • Sessions are held on a massage table fully clothed, with pillows, a table warmer, and blankets available to you to ensure your body feels completely supported.

    We will begin with a Stillness mediation before hands on work begins.

    Sounds, sighs, and questions are welcomed throughout the sessions, though minimal back and forth dialogue is encouraged to support cognition in slowing down.

    If appropriate and in alignment with your process, I may ask simple, open-ended questions to support a dialogue between you and your body, an ancestor, younger self, or Spirit. This is mostly to create more realized connection and to support your unique sensory awareness as you are receiving and feeling, and less about cognitive processing.

  • Please refrain from wearing jeans, corduroy, or canvas pants during the session. If you need to change before and after your session, there will be time and a space to do so.

    If possible, please arrive 5-10 minutes before your session start time to allow yourself a moment to take a breath, use the restroom, etc.

  • Some people find completion in just one session, others find they come every month for a period of time before feeling complete. Some simply enjoy the receiving and book whenever they feel called.  It is totally up to you.

    Typically, I recommend a series of 3 sessions, as layers of our healing reveal themselves over time and deeper integration is offered the more we engage with our experience.

    For folks experiencing chronic symptoms or recovering from recent surgery, you may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions for 1-2 months.
